When Kids Can't Read (What Teachers Can Do) by Kylene Beers

I love this book!

I teach upper elementary grades (5 & 6), and have constantly been on the lookout for ideas and ways to help struggling readers.

This book is an easy read, and is filled with strategies and teaching methods that are quick to prepare and work wonders with students.

The kids like the strategies and don't realize that they're to help "struggling readers."

I even have kids ask if we can do this strategy or that one, because "they're fun."

Wow!
